Reina and Sebastian finally go with Kezia to go home together using a luxury car driven by Kezia's private driver. Kezia felt very happy because this was the first time the man who had been her idol wanted to come home with her by car. All this because Kezia approached Reina. It turns out that Kezia's prediction is correct that Reina will make Sebastian closer to Kezia.
"Do you guys have free time? Before I go home I want to treat you guys to lunch." Kezia wished she could go and enjoy time with Sebastian more.
Sebastian looked at Reina and saw what the girl's response was. "Um, that's fine. Thank you, Kezia. Turns out you were really good." Reina agreed to an invitation to have lunch with the girl who became the popular girl at the school.
Sebastian didn't think that Reina was so innocent. How could Reina not know what Kezia meant to have lunch just to be close to Sebastian. Maybe Reina is really naive or thinks too positively towards other people so she doesn't know Kezia's hidden intentions. Sebastian didn't say a word or protest with Reina's decision.
Arriving at a luxury restaurant, the car stopped and the driver parked it neatly. "Come on, let's have lunch together!" Kezia was very enthusiastic because this was the first time Sebastian wanted to go with her without refusing or processing at all.
Reina was happy because it had been a long time since she had gone to a fancy restaurant like Reina's parents used to take her in town. Sebastian is also the son of a wealthy person but doesn't really like traveling to fancy places. So it became interesting for both of them.
"Kezia, Thank you so much for bringing me and Sebastian here as well." Reina thought that what Kezia did was to be Reina's friend, but she wasn't.
"You're welcome. I'm glad I got to have lunch with you two. Come on in and choose the menu that you like!"
The three of them had lunch together. Kezia was happy to see Sebastian and eat together. The lunch was very warm and intimate. Sebastian who rarely smiled, was forced to smile for Reina's sake. However, Reina misunderstood that Sebastian was smiling because he had lunch with Kezia. Instantly Reina felt tightness in her chest and a sense of rumbling that for some reason just came. Is this what they call jealousy?
"You rarely smile in class. Your smile is so cute, Sebastian." Kezia teased Sebastian again with a smile.
"Not really. I often smile even though in my heart." Sebastian's answer made Kezia laugh.
Reina feels that the two of them are indeed close, it's just that currently Sebastian has the responsibility to take care of Reina. Reina thought that all this made Sebastian happy. Even though Sebastian was forced to talk to Kezia so that the girls at school wouldn't disturb Reina. Sebastian knows that Reina plays an important role in school because she is the leader of the popular girl at school.
After having lunch together, they went home. Reina didn't say much because she felt awkward. Moreover, Kezia seems to always want to be close to Sebastian and talk to him. Reina felt more and more uncertain. Jealousy ruled Reina's heart and mind. Reina tried to be calm so as not to look jealous.
They got into the car after lunch and left the restaurant. The trip from the restaurant to Sebastian's house wasn't too long. After arriving, Sebastian and Reina got out of the car.
"See you later, Sebastian and Reina. Nice to have lunch with you guys!" Keiza also waved after Sebastian and Reina got out of the car and almost entered the fence.
"Yes, Kezia! Thank You!" Reina, who shouted in response because she didn't want Sebastian to keep smiling, looked at Kezia like someone who was in love.
Reina went straight into the house without waiting for Sebastian. Reina was annoyed with Sebastian who smiled at Kezia. After entering the house, there was no Aunt Shelena in the house. Reina immediately went up to the room so as not to meet Sebastian who was already walking behind following Reina.
"Reina!" Sebastian called but there was no answer.
Reina was confused by the feelings of jealousy raging. Should I tell Sebastian what Reina is feeling right now? It seems impossible to tell.
Sebastian pulled Reina's hand and immediately hugged Reina's body. "I smile not for Kezia. I smile for you. I want you to be happy at school and not get into trouble. Kezia can help you."
It was as if Sebastian could read Reina's mind and heart. Those words were just spoken by Sebastian and the pain that pierced Reina's heart suddenly disappeared and was replaced by an erratic heartbeat. Reina was confused by the currently uncertain feelings. Sometimes hot, sometimes cold, sometimes yes, sometimes not. After meeting Sebastian and the first kiss that happened, Reina felt uncertain.
"Let go of my body! I'm going to my room!" Reina tried to push Sebastian's body but it was no use.
"I'll let go if you don't misunderstand."
Reina is getting confused why Sebastian said like that? Why does Sebastian seem to treat Reina special? After all, they are just cousins. Was Sebastian on purpose to make Reina feel overconfident or to get the wrong idea?
"Yeah, alright! I didn't misunderstand didn't even think anything about you and Kezia. Let go of my body now because I want to go to the room!"
Reina said that in annoyance. Annoyed by that confusing feeling. Not mad at Sebastian.
Sebastian let go of his embrace and let Reina step away from the place and walk towards the stairs to the third floor. Sebastian knew that in fact his cousin was still upset and misunderstood what had happened at lunch earlier. Even though everything that Sebastian did was a way for Kezia to want to protect Reina from attacks by students who didn't like Reina's presence. As is the tradition in this elite school, Sebastian knows that a girl who has just entered school and looks prettier than the others is bound to get into trouble at school. Sebastian didn't want that to happen to Reina.
"All of this is for your good, Reina. I'm willing to smile even though it's only forced so that Kezia doesn't allow schoolgirls to disturb you."
Sebastian entered his room. Feeling tired thinking about everything that happened today knowing that tomorrow Kezia will be excited in class with the news of having lunch with Sebastian. Sebastian feels disgusted and uncomfortable around the overly aggressive Kezia. If Reina wasn't there, there's no way Sebastian would want to have lunch with Kezia.
